    Will I come back to finish the 88 temples? Yes.

    Walked: 273 km in 13 days
    Temples visited: 31
    Temples on top of mountains: 6
    Signage: patchy: from very good to completely absent
    Injuries: none
    Terrain: 80% road. Too much tarmac. But some of this can be done by bus/train/DMV. Shikoku is the most rural main island and its countryside is beautiful, towns less so.
    Gradient: either mostly flat or very steep. 

    Japanese people are very kind!
